next week open meat market atWess
ington Springs. Another meat marke
is much needed here and we believeMl
Bickford will do a good business. H
will also run a wagon through tn
country to accommodate farmers.
MIR. M. A. Shaw, of Pleasant town
ship called at the Herald Office th
other day with couple of smiling cat
lbage heads under his arms, which h
tpresented to us. Mr.. Shaw reports him
self as getting along finely with hi
harvest, and the goose hangs high.
The local executive committee O
the Soldiers and Sailors Reunion to b.
held at Woonsocket, soon, is distribut
ling blank circulars, to be filed out by
parties wishing to contribute sundry
vegetables, &C., for boarding the expect
ed large attendance of soldiers on that
occasion. 1t should, and will, be liber.
ally responded to.
Judge Hackett has opened up his
probate office in the building next east
from the Washington Springs Hotel
With crops of all kinds booming, and
all the bright prospects ahead for an.
other years fat living for everybody in
these parts, we fear that none Of Jer-
aud county's citizens will fall game to
the Judge, by shutting off their mortal
coil, and that His Honor will be DOOM
ed to disappointment in his graveyard
business, in the near future at least.
One W. R. Day, probably not dis
interested party, is belittleing the AL
lance in reply-letter in lastweeksRep.
to a correspondent of that paper. Far
mers organizations, whatever their
name, sprout up from time to time, be-
cause of necessity, in a country where
the farmers, together with everybody
else, only more so than: the rest, are
continually menaced by various rings,
pools, and alligat6rsmonopolies. The
Alliance serves good purpose, even if
it be not absolutely perfect. Mr.. Days
article won't bear no searching critic
ism. !s
Mr.. Hessdorfer, one of Jerauld's
go-ahead German farmers, who resides
just west of the sand hills, on the road
to Woonsocket, is considerably pulled
by the Woonsocket papers .on account
of his extensive farm and good crops.
We are as proud of him as our ccntem-
poraries, and copy.the following from
the News: "On the 10Th of July he had
PIG acres cut-the best record known
and cut 100 acres in one day. This week
will finish his harvesting. Out of 600
acres he has $50 in wheat which will
yield twenty bushels to the acre, and
the balance IN oats and barley, which
are a full crop and the oats will prob
duly ~ oSRcuGy UuollC4S w CuC eaC1Cs~
This is what we call prosperous farm
ing and we hope all our farmers will
have as good yield"
SEVERE SToRM.-Lastn night about
ILLS a whirl wind struck Crow Lake,
demolishing over one third the build
ings in town. The new grain warehouse
just built by Justice McGlashan was
thrown from it's foundation and turned
over and around, leaving only mass Of
kindling wood. MIR. McGlashen went to
one of the windows to shut it when he
feltthe building raise and he was found
some fifty feet away by Capt. Fred
Wood who had been on the watch for
a squall for some time. None of the
moreimportapt buildings were wreck
ed, although most all were damaged
Mr.. McGlashan was the only person in.
jured and, we trust, will soon be about
again.-Jerauld County Homesteader
